If you’re renewing your Compass Card

Compass records need to be fully updated every two years, after which a new Compass Card will be issued if your child or young person is still eligible. A few weeks before your old card is due to expire, the Compass Team will get in touch with you to remind you to re-register. If you’re in West Sussex, you can renew your card online or if you’d prefer to fill in a paper registration form, you can print it off using the links below and use the FREEPOST address to return it to the Compass Team at Amaze.
